Homes Near Swedish School & Cambridge in Marbella
The Swedish School in Marbella – A Blend of Swedish and International Education
Located in Nueva Andalucía, just above the vibrant Puerto Banús, the Swedish School in Marbella has been a cornerstone for expat families since 2003.
Approved by the Swedish National Agency for Education (Skolverket), it follows the Swedish curriculum, offering preschool for ages 3–5, a preschool class for 6-year-olds, and primary school for grades 1–6. For older students, the school supports distance learning through Sofia Distans (grades 7–9) or Hermods (high school), with on-site guidance from dedicated staff.
A standout feature is the school’s recent addition of an international track based on the Cambridge International Curriculum, launched in the 2024 autumn term for grades 7 and beyond. This globally recognised programme equips students with a rigorous academic foundation, preparing them for prestigious qualifications like IGCSEs and A-Levels. Combined with the Swedish curriculum, it ensures children receive a bilingual education in Swedish and English, plus Spanish from an early age, fostering a seamless transition into both local and international communities. With a capacity for up to 200 students (currently around 150), the school maintains a warm, close-knit environment. Its facilities – including a pool, football pitch, padel courts, and lush green spaces – make it a haven for kids to learn and play.
Why Marbella and Nueva Andalucía Suit Families
Marbella offers more than just a sunny escape – it’s a thriving year-round destination with plenty to offer families. Nueva Andalucía, home to the Swedish School, is a favourite among expats, particularly Swedish families. Known as the “Golf Valley” for its proximity to world-class golf courses, it’s equally celebrated for its family-friendly vibe. Supermarkets, shops, banks, and restaurants are all within easy reach, and the bustling Puerto Banús, with its marina and beaches, is just a short stroll or drive away.
For families, the school’s location is a major perk, with quiet residential areas providing a safe and peaceful setting. Málaga Airport is only 40 minutes away, making travel to and from home countries a breeze. Nueva Andalucía has a strong Scandinavian presence – you’ll hear Swedish in local shops and cafés, and there are 3 Swedish grocery stores located in Nueva Andalucia, adding a touch of familiarity to your new life.
